Jeder*mann
A play about the dying of a rich man after Hugo von Hofmannsthal
Every*man has everything that makes for a good life: Money, power, time, every day is a party. Then death comes a-knocking. What's left now for Every*man? Who will stand by him in during his last hours? Neither his Amour, Mammon, friends, nor employees want to help him out. Every*man realises that his life is a vainty fair.
Hugo von Hofmannsthal poses questions of a loss of meaning and hope in a life that concerns itself only with growth, wealth and distraction. He wanted to rejuvenate theatre by means of archaic language and form. And created a classic that holds a mirror up to the high society in Salzburg every summer - and not only there.
In 1949, Jedermann was the first premiere of a theatre company that is now Badische Landesbühne. To celebrate our 75th anniversary, we took a look at von Hofmannsthal's classic with contemporary theatrical means. And in the 25/26 season we'löl keep asking the question: Is there a chance for insight in our times? Or will the filthy rich simply flee to Mars to avoid death?

Jeder*mann in simple language
Every*man is rich. He has a lot of power. He can do what he wants. He is not nice to people. God doesn't like that. He sends death to come and get Every*man.
Every*man realises: His money does not help him. His friends do not help him. He has to go with death. Will Every*man become a good person in the last minute?
Huge von Hofmannsthal wrote the play. That was in 1911. He called it: Jedermann. We added the * to the name. That means: It could also be a woman. It could any person on earth. The play is shown very often. In Salzburg, you can see it every year.

All I can say is WOW! Jedermann as a production for 2 actors and a great musician, who also served as a third actor, one would think it impossible - but it worked extremnely well. Everyone was excited - me included.

I will have to come back, once just isn't enough (...) I have 1000 questions on how this is even possible. What Alice, Ole, and Ulrich accomplish is unbelievable.

Theatre director produced the "the play of the rich man's death" as a "Sprechoper" with live music, puppetry and well placed irony. The audience of the sold-out premiere was enthusiastic, applauded for scenes, gave standing ovations and clapped along to the rap version of "Ein Lied geht aus, wo eingeht Wein" (lit. "a song comes out where wine goes in").
